The old man whom I started with almost 30 years ago, if I would have been using a marker on the sheetmetal(thats what awls are for) and would have not clipped the corners-He would have hit me upside the head with that piece........

I guess if you have to field fab something Magic Marker is ok.

The old codger who taught me didn't have patiance for BS either.
